Former US Navy BuNo 157049 was stored at AMARC since 24 August 1993 with inventory code 2T0225. The Buckeye was selected for sale by Greece and left the storage depot on 26 May 2001. Inititally planned for spare parts to keep the T-2 fleet of the Hellenic Air Force alive, 157049 was apparently good enough and was made airworthy again by Hellenic Aerospace Industries (HAI) at Tanagra. It was then assigned to 120 PEA at Kalamata. The Buckeye was withdrawn from use in early 2018.
